Isotopia options

This allows specifying and retrieving default values for newly created isotopia objects.

set_iso_opts(default_ab_notation = c("raw", "percent"),
  default_ff_notation = c("alpha", "eps", "permil", "ppm"),
  default_delta_notation = c("raw", "permil", "ppm"),
  default_intensity_unit = "", default_major = "",
  default_minor = "", exact_mass_balance = FALSE, standards = c())

get_iso_opts(opts)

Arguments

default_ab_notation	default notation of abundance objects, see switch_notation for details
default_ff_notation	default notation of fractionation factors
default_delta_notation	default notation of delta values
default_intensity_unit	default unit for intensity values
default_major	default major isotope on all isotope objects
exact_mass_balance	NOT IMPLEMENTED YET! If enabled, mass balance calculations with delta values (i.e. mass_balance(delta, delta, delta... or delta() + delta()) will always be performed exact by converting to natural abundances first and making the addition in abundance space (will be converted back to delta value afterwards). This is only possible if the ref_ratio in the delta values is set and will lead to an error if attempted without the reference ratios set. If disabled, mass balance calculations with delta values (delta() + delta()) will be performed in delta space (which is not exact but the discrepancy is negligible unless the minor isotopes in an isotope system make up a significant portion) see register_standard for details
standards	isotope ratio objects to register as standards
default	minor default minor isotope on all isotope objects

Details

get_iso_opts allows retrieval of all or individual isotopia options. Returns a single value if only one option is requested, a named list if multiple

Note

Default options are the following and are set during package loading together with the default standards
set_iso_opts(
default_ab_notation = "raw",
default_ff_notation = "alpha",
default_delta_notation = "permil",
default_intensity_unit = "",
default_major = "",
default_minor = "",
exact_mass_balance = FALSE
)
